Also known as the Joint Security Area (JSA), Panmunjom is the only place along the border where troops from the two Koreas face each other. The aim is to reduce tensions between the two countries.
Earlier this month, troops from both sides started removing about 800,000 landmines buried along the border. "The two Koreas and the UNC [US-led United Nations Command] agreed to take measures of withdrawing firearms and military posts from the JSA by 25 October, and for the following two days, the three parties will conduct a joint verification," the South Korean defence ministry in Seoul said in a statement.
The three parties also confirmed the completion of the demining operations in the JSA, it said.
